CoachingAfter a free discovery Zoom meeting, clients are invited to send 500 words for friendly feedback after which she’ll discuss the piece with you and tailor her suggestions to your goals. Sessions can be as frequent or infrequent as clients need.
Suggestion: weekly or monthly sessions are usually helpful for the client to keep up momentum.
Fee: Free discovery meeting via Zoom. Initial session £100, sessions thereafter: usually £80 each but between August – December 2026, fees have been discounted to just £50 to celebrate 15 years of For The Love of Books.
Payment includes: Weekly guidance and coaching of client's emailed submission (up to 500 words) using MS Word ‘content tracker’. I'll add suggestions and give guidance. I will highlight areas that may require editing/proofreading which can be discussed in the Zoom session. Marked submission will be returned via email within seven working days of receipt.

We’ll work together to find a way that makes sense for you. The essence being that if the method we use is enjoyable then results will happen naturally because if you enjoy what you’re doing, you’re more likely to continue with it.
We’re all different but are generally more open-minded when we find value in something and it’s enjoyable. Some people prefer to get stuck straight in, while others appreciate a little handholding. Some respond well if the project is ‘gamified’ - the concept that makes every step fun and gives instant rewards for progress made.
Throughout our time together, we’ll have frequent discussions via Zoom at mutually agreeable times, you’ll receive emails, WhatsApp messages (if required), friendly feedback, suggestions, tips and more to help you reach your goal.
We’ll connect weekly or monthly, whichever suits your schedule, until you feel confident enough to continue independently or until your project is completed.
After we’ve discussed your needs and goals, you’ll send a piece of writing via email of up to 500 words each week/month. I work through it line by line and, using MS Word Track Changes, make comments or give tips in the margin. Comments might be a suggestion of how to reword the section evoking more emotion/tension/excitement/etc. I’ll highlight areas I consider brilliant and give tips where I feel you might have struggled. Afterwards, I’ll give my feedback in a positive and constructive way via email. We can then Zoom to discuss that submission and my feedback and then you’ll work on the next piece to send. You can use this Zoom call to use me as a sounding board for any future ideas too.
I met Sarah with an almost completed manuscript, a wobble of self-confidence, and an absolute lack of knowledge of what to do next. Sarah was encouraging, unstinting in advice and guidance, and boosted my confidence no end. I learned so much from her. She is very skilled with writing and extremely knowledgeable. She’s gifted in bringing out the best in people. If you have a book in you Sarah will be invaluable in helping to bring it out. JR
If you're an aspiring writer and you want to work with someone who will happily go the extra mile for you, then Sarah is your lady. RD
I knew my son had the ability to excel at English, but he was not being inspired at school. Sarah is excellent at quickly accessing individual needs at her initial consultation, then formulating her coaching to fit. She also re-ignited his passion for reading. NT
The confidence you’ve given me in my writing…I’m so thankful! SL
